#Oct18th

In court papers DOJ attorneys have admitted that troops are not deployed or to be deployed for crime reduction. Their sole mission is protection of ICE operations - - -aka with my editorial views: further violent performative attacks on immigrant groups to terrorize them into self-deportation.

Then there's the fact that people aged 79 don't live that much longer in general (yes many exceptions for people who don't eat McDonalds as their basic meal) and dementia is progressive. DT has made it all about him. No him, no that. If JD Vance tries the same bullshit, it will be 10.5%.

Kinda like anyone in Santa Monica who went to school with
Stephen Miller.

Stephen Miller studied it all between the Trump terms and was paid to do so by affiliates of the Heritage Foundation.

Reinforcements have been dispatched to Portland… 🤣🐸🤣

The story is huge and would be Pulitzer material not to mention a Hollywood deal. So really makes no sense. And assuming the S. Carolina authorities are slow walking because they have an inkling that's what they need to do makes the story all the more attractive to what used to be the press.

PAID VACATION

But they cannot be stopped without being exposed/

100% and thank you for taking a stand. Some one Republican member of Congress of stature needs to report on the threats. Just a small bit of courage compared to so many sacrifices by those on whose shoulders they stand. Unless stopped they will keep fire bombing homes. It stops only after exposure.

Go see "One Battle After Another." Paul Thomas Anderson isn't staying silent. He got WB to spend over $100 million just on the production.

It's a generational film of superior excellence. Now watch the MAGA horde try to bury it. They already are. It's their war against speech and the arts.

Hard to navigate the state of the country with troops in cities and violent masked kidnapping staged as arrests even of American citizens. MAGA propaganda now plays on loops in public spaces like an apocalyptic scene of a fallen democracy.

Need a lift? Try Copland's "Appalachian Spring."

Don't know about Roberts completely, but they sure "own" the minds of some of the others. Those Justices need to think hard on how their construction of the Constitution is harming the application of Constitutional purpose, the rule of law and "democracy" as defined conventionally.

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

The chip deal with UAE (or Saudi, can’t recall right off), the mutual defense pact with Qatar ,reinstating Turkey as a customer for U.S. weapons and more reveals to come were, I bet, deal making for Arab pressure to force a peace deal in Gaza. We will see…

This is Randy Erwin, the President of the National Federation of Federal Employees, a union representing 150,000+ workers across the country. #arresttrump #wethepeople #democracy

Picasso's Guernica was "saved" by being brought to NY's MOMA where it was a jewel of the painting collections. Starting at 14 I'd take the family's membership card and go stand in front of it deeply moved. US engagement in Vietnam had begun.

Saudi's back in the day before 9/11 had multiple dedicated facilities on American bases to train their military on American equipment they had bought. Part of the diamond studded handshake between our own military and the arms builders.

... as they do.

DT has worked to defund and censor the arts b/c the arts speak more truth than he or the GOP can take. "Gurenica" was painted in response to an attack by German and Italian troops, as invited by Spain's sitting fascist government, to quell dissent in Spain. Sound familiar to Texans in Illinois?

IAAL for over 50 yrs. To @repdangoldman.bsky.social the legal profession might "reward" AUSA's who more accurately stand down in the face of demands that they should act against their understanding of the Constitution, the rule of law and standards of professional conduct. But not at Paul Weiss.

We now need people with power of strong integrity and great courage dedicated to the protection of the Constitution and of all of the people privileged to live in the US. The "war" on Antifa simply means we get arrested or worse if we call Miller a fascist b/c he is. But "traitor" fits just as well.

Sounds pretty spot on. For those such as me not fully conversant in the worlds of Tolkien:

That requires seeing DT as Othello who was simply jealous. Lear - - - crazy as crazy comes.
